Identify Wild-Growing Vine

We're located in the Watertown, NY area. The attached photo shows the overall growth of the plant on the left and a close up on the right. This plant is growing in the wild, under our deck. It is the kind of plant that dies to the ground come winter. I didn't see any thorns, fruits, flowers, or seeds. The newer growth is shiny. The back of the leaves are about the same coloring/shininess as the front; they aren't hairy. The leaves alternate along the stem, have 3 or 5 lobes/are somewhat hand-shaped, and are serrated/spined. The plant is no higher than 3' and, since it is a vine, tends to crawl along the ground, with shoots coming up (some poking out through the slats in our deck). The plant has tendrils as well. Thank you in advance!
